Gas Chromatography Repair Services
Lost time in the lab impacts your bottom line.
Our Gas Chromatography Solutions
We recognize that gas chromatography instruments are critical to your operations. With an ongoing service contract from CBRE, we guarantee an engineer will be onsite within 48 hours of your service request. Before finalizing any service agreement, our team will explore key aspects of your lab, including your budget, instrumentation setup, project types and quarterly deadlines. Our due diligence process enables us to provide a tailored contract that meets your lab’s requirements.
CBRE helps lab managers budget with confidence. Planned preventative maintenance (PM) is essential but doesn't cover critical repairs. Our repair service contracts combine parts and labor with PM, minimizing surprise costs. As a leading supplier of GC repair parts, we offer in-stock guarantees for frequently failing components, ensuring flexibility and tailored support for your lab's unique needs.
We understand that PM can be inconvenient and can accommodate your needs if you need to reschedule planned preventative GC maintenance services. Our PM visits are also an opportunity to address equipment issues, such as fronting or tailing peaks, poor resolution or noisy baselines. Proactively addressing these issues can help prevent costly surprises and ensure your lab runs smoothly and efficiently.
If you're experiencing critical failures with your gas chromatography equipment and you've already tried troubleshooting common issues, such as the power supply, electrical connections, signal connections, syringe condition and column condition, don't let more downtime impact your deadlines. For persistent challenges beyond your expertise, contact CBRE for prompt assistance with your repair needs.
Once we identify the source of the issue, our service engineer will promptly source the necessary parts to implement the solution. As an industry-leading supplier of GC repair parts, CBRE maintains a well-stocked warehouse with a wide range of components, including pumps, pump seals, detectors, purifiers, heaters and thermostats. After our team completes the repair, we conduct diagnostic tests and qualifications to ensure your instruments operate at peak performance.
Qualification of your GC instrumentation is required at regularly scheduled intervals. Even small errors in output data can lead to incredibly impactful consequences. CBRE offers experienced, professional equipment qualification services for GC instrumentation.
IQ: Installation Qualification
Installation Qualification, or IQ, is a well documented validation process that ensures the proper conveyance, installation, and configuration of your GC instrumentation (based upon a manufacturer-approved list). This can include verifying location, power supplies and software installations.
OQ: Operational Qualification
Operational Qualification, or OQ, is also common when it comes to GC instrumentation quality assurance. This step involves testing the instrument to make sure it is performing as specified—the engineer is normally referencing properoperating ranges that have been documented by the OEM.
PQ: Performance Qualification
Performance Qualification, or PQ, is really about addressing your GC instrumentation performance within the manufacturer’s documented ranges in your “actual” lab’s conditions. For PQ to be implemented, a detailed test plan should be created, and the test plan must create reproducible results.
